The editor’s desk

The AFLW players possess the kind of courage I hope will develop in all the young women I know, particularly my little niece. She, unlike me, has a chance for football – the sport I loved growing up and still love today – to be much more in her life, if she chooses. The women’s league season started this month and the curtain-raising Geelong and Collingwood clash drew more than 18,000 fans. North Melbourne and Geelong are new teams this season, and in this edition we meet the Kangaroos’ Kaitlyn Ashmore, whose passion for the blue and white stripes runs deep. ●

FIRST PERSON

“ I am James Tutton ” … and I’m an entrepreneur who helps people meditate I always knew that I was unemployable. I didn’t take direction from other people at all well, so I think I’ve always been aware that I’d work for myself.

When I was at university I worked as a doorman and sold clothing at markets, and in my final year I started Moonlight Cinema, which I sold to a public company in my early 30s.

Then, I had an entertainment business in LA before coming back to Australia and going into business with Jeff Provan at Neometro about 10 years ago.

About five and a half years ago I established Smiling Mind with Jane Martino, which is a notfor-profit focused on preventative mental health tools for young people, specifically based in mindfulness meditation.

We have 3.5 million downloads of our app, we’re working with hundreds of thousands of students, and have a workplace program that’s used in corporate organisations across Australia.

I say this jokingly, but I went bald at 22 and was driving a Porsche in my mid-20s, so I’d done the traditional mid-life crisis things really early on.

I was 39 when we started Smiling Mind and I thought, “Right, I’m going to have a positive mid-life crisis”, which, for me, involved putting my energy into something that could have a significant and beneficial social impact.

I’ve also had a long-term interest in mental health. I’ve seen people close to me experience schizophrenia and post-natal depression.

I wouldn’t for a second say that mindfulness and meditation are a silver bullet, but it’s clinically shown that they can lower the risk of the onset of a whole gamut of mental heath conditions.

Making money is not my goal in life. I’m far more interested in using what skills I have as an entrepreneur to have a positive social impact.

That’s not to say I don’t have to pay my school fees, because I do, but I didn’t want my children to go, “...that’s all he did with his life”.

I felt a responsibility to show them that if you have some entrepreneurial skills and chutzpah, you can do really positive social things. ●

ENTERTAINMENT

W

ith the reopening of iconic St Kilda music venue The Esplanade Hotel comes an ode to its former glory, a future vision and proof that rock ’n’ roll is here to stay.

The 140-year-old Victorian heritage-listed building now comes with a green room corridor that weaves from backstage to the main stage with full view for those dining in the Espy kitchen, too.

There’s no FOMO to be had either, because you now score a side eye of backstage from the comforts of this distillery and barrel room-dressed dining area. It’s a nice touch for those keen to witness the acts in full flight, and as close as you’ll get to your rock star moment, unless you’re with the band.

According to Techne architect Justin Northrop, the renovation had to factor in the venue’s past, while also reviving an icon that could be so much

The Gershwin Room returns to its finest days, with the help of a new black steel beam to hold the structure in place. It’s where Beasts of Bourbon, Things of Stone and Wood, Yothu Yindi and Men at Work all played and where Tex Perkins, Tim Rogers and ABC radio show announcer and co-host of recently cancelled RocKwiz Brian Nankervis have all taken to the stage since it reopened late last year.

“It is one of the only heritage listings where the usage is integral to the building,” Northrop explains.

“It has to be a live music venue – that is part of its DNA, but it reaches back further than live music.

Retelling those stories is a big part of this renovation for us,” he says.

Nankervis started doing comedy in the public bar in the mid-90s with his character Raymond J. Bartholomeuz. The room’s renovation comes with original gig posters that decorate the walls in an ode

THE LEGEND LIVES ON more. The venue now comes with 12 bars, two restaurants and three music stages that sprawl across six levels and cater up to 1700 guests.

The former piano room bar is now a modern podcast studio open to anyone keen for a digital hook-up. The second level and those above it have opened to the public for the first time.

This is where the Ghost of Alfred Felton bar – Felton was a former resident, entrepreneur, chemist and philanthropist who lived at the Espy from 1892 until his death in 1904 – is located. There’s an ode to his obsessions with the three rooms covering a library with old books, another filled with art on the walls and an apothecary-inspired bar, hinting at Felton’s drug-dispensing days.

New Cantonese restaurant and cocktail bar Mya Tiger is a nod to the rise of Chinese restaurants that appeared in St Kilda during the 1850s gold rush era.

With that in mind, there’s a colonial style in place with a nod to chinoiserie.

“The colonial styling and Victorian cues really come through in this dining space,” Northrop says.

“We’ve sourced antique tables and artefacts to hint to that old world while also referencing Singapore’s famously grand dining and hotel venue Raffles.”

to its former self, featuring everyone from Mark Seymour to Cosmic Psychos.

Nankervis says the Espy’s cultural significance is huge. He recalls a wow moment seeing Ross Hannaford’s Diana Kiss band perform in the public bar in the early ’90s. “I only saw them once but I’ll never forget it,” he says.

“Peter Luscombe [the drummer in the RocKwiz band] tells this great story of when he was supporting Bob Dylan at the Palais, and convinced his band to come across the road to see Diana Kiss.

As they walked in, Hannaford and the band was totally on fire. Bucky Baxter [Dylan’s guitarist] turned to him [Peter] and said, ‘Lucky Bob didn’t come or we’d be fired on the spot’.”

RocKwiz filmed 174 episodes at the Gershwin Room over 12 years, with the first taking place in November 2004. “People would come from all over Australia because the tapings became the stuff of legend,” says Nankervis.

“We would record two shows at night, they were free but it was hard to get tickets.”

ABC radio show host Myfanwy Warhurst remembers walking into the Espy when she moved to Melbourne in the early ’90s. “I saw so many

The Espy’s grand redesign by Techne Architecture – including 12 bars, two restaurants and three music stages – speaks to the building’s heritage and rebirth.

bands there and recall everyone at the pool tables looking like they were having a wild time,” she says.

“I spent many Sunday afternoons seeing Dave Taranto’s comedy night in the Gershwin Room. A lot of those comedy icons started there, like Judith Lucy, too. It’s where I got my grounding in Melbourne comedy and learnt how to party well.”

From turn-of-the-century hotel to a ballroom venue and jazz hangout, the Espy has morphed into many characters over the years – including ’70s disco, too.

MYFANWY WARHURST

But it was its punk and rock days that nailed its reputation.

Radio announcer Jane Gazzo says: “Both of my bands played in the piano bar and Gershwin Room.

“There’s no outdoor loading zone behind the venue any more, but they’ve done well to remind us of the Espy of the past. In the front bar, there’s a work of Fred Negro – who is synonymous with the venue – and [they’ve] framed a lot of the old rock posters, too. You feel you’re walking into your own history. There is a definite excitement about it. It’s a

successful renovation and realisation. I am stoked.”

The Sand Hill Group’s decision to buy the venue – for a reported $15 million and spending $15 million on the 18-month renovations – has thrilled rock enthusiasts who now get live music with a fancy culinary upgrade.

“We all knew the Espy needed a bit of a wash, like all of us old rock ’n’ rollers,” Warhurst says.

“Taking care of yourself on the inside is where it’s at now. It’s great it’s back and feels very Melbourne, and will give people a place to go again.” ●

COVER STORY

Jumping at the chance to rule the field W

As javelin star-turnedfootballer Kaitlyn Ashmore spears a new AFLW team, the next generation is on her mind.

DOM A IN REV IEW

hen Kaitlyn Ashmore was selected by the Brisbane Lions as a priority draft pick ahead of the inaugural 2017 AFLW season, she was both excited and a little unnerved.

“I didn’t know who was going to be in Brisbane as far as the team went, and I didn’t know anyone in Brisbane,” she recalls. “Actually, I’d never even been to Brisbane. The furthest I’d been away from Ballarat was Melbourne, and I’d only moved there three months before.”

The Ashmores are a close family; when Kaitlyn broke the news, her mother couldn’t comprehend it.

“She said, ‘But you can’t! Women don’t go interstate to play footy!’ ” Indeed they do. And sometimes they come home, too.

To her North Melbourne Kangaroo-supporting brother Leigh’s delight, Ashmore has suited up for the burgeoning national competition’s 2019 season in blue and white stripes, a key member of one of two new teams (alongside

Geelong) in a league that’s grown to 10 in its third season. Having emerged from a baseball-loving clan to become a karate black belt and a javelin-thrower with an Olympic dream, at 27 she feels at home and ready to break new ground.

“I’ve never won a team sport,” Ashmore says. “Me and my brother think we’re pretty unlucky – he’s had the same thing with baseball, nearly made it and just fallen short. We call it the Ashmore Curse. Hopefully we can get one this year.”

as he headed to the US, such was his baseball talent; Leigh and their father Greg are mainstays of the Ballarat City Brewers Baseball Club.

For her part, Kaitlyn threw the pointy pole far enough to excel at state and national level. Adding elite performance in karate to the mix won her the Victorian Olympic Council’s Pierre de Coubertin award in 2009.

Yet connecting with her grandfather through football changed her sporting course.

Yet connecting with her grandfather through football changed her sporting course.

“Pa was an old-school guy, just loved footy,” she says. “I’d do athletics but he’d never come and watch, or if he did, he’d just sit in the stands and not say anything. I’d be happy because I threw a PB; he’d be like, ‘Yeah, that was good.’ He was just a football head.”

When she took up school footy her grandfather was in the crowd; after she joined North Ballarat, aged 18, he was there every weekend. After a stroke took her beloved pa in 2011, Ashmore joined Melbourne

University’s women’s team, made the state side the following year and has been a serious player ever since.

While Brisbane was initially daunting, Ashmore now regards her two seasons there as an awakening.

She missed home terribly, not least her dalmatian Billie, she says, but felt herself grow.

“I was a very a shy girl. Now I’m in the North Melbourne leadership group, and I don’t think that would have happened if I hadn’t got out of my comfort zone.”

She loves football’s small-world, familial feel; Kangaroos captain Emma Kearney, along with

teammates Ash Riddell and Kate Gillespie-Jones, are old Melbourne Uni comrades, while Jenna Bruton is another Ballarat girl. And there are other teammates she’s been longing to play alongside. “Jasmine Garner’s going to be a star.”

At the Lions, Ashmore played in two grand finals for two heartbreakingly narrow losses. At North, surrounded by recruits from other AFLW clubs who are likewise eager for success, she’s revelled in how Roos’ stars including Jack Ziebell, Ben Brown and Jamie MacMillan have embraced them.

Roomy and bold in an individual way, this contemporary pile gives parents and offspring heaps of scope to do their own thing, and, thanks to its low-maintenance principles, there should be more time to do just that.

The residence is one of two on the block. Reached by a lengthy driveway, it’s invisible to the street, but makes an impact on first sighting with mixed building materials and angles in abundance.

Entry is via double, fire-engine-red doors to a foyer with open staircases to both levels.

Step down for the youth quarters. With the huge family room incorporating a fitted study, a separate toilet next to the bathroom and three bedrooms sporting built-in wardrobes, this lower level gives the kids room to relax, knock-off homework in peace and have friends over without getting under adult feet. Glass doors connecting the family room and the backyard let the breeze blow in and the kids flow out for some fresh-air exertion.

Step up for open-plan living and the main bedroom suite.

To the fore of the level, the suite features a large sleeping chamber with wallpaper and a walk-in wardrobe leading to a bright, twin-vanity en suite.

At the centre of this level, the exceptional kitchen has white stone surfaces, chocolate-coloured cabinetry, Bosch appliances, a red-glass splashback and a light fitting like a bunch of balloons. Clerestory glazing ensures any cook-book propped on the island bench is well-illuminated. Opposite the kitchen, there’s a handy powder room.
